2. Cassius Winston vs. 15. Zach Randolph

There’s a real chance Cassius Winston could have been the No. 1 overall seed in the entire tournament had COVID-19 not shown up. Had MSU won the national title this season, I’d argue Cassius Winston would have been the greatest Michigan State basketball player of all time. In reality, he was robbed of that opportunity and will have to settle for being one of the greatest and most beloved with his number heading up to the Breslin Center rafters in the near future.

He takes on Zach Randolph, AKA Z-Bo. Had Z-Bo stayed at MSU for more than one year he’s be way higher on this list. It’s a testament to how beloved he is by MSU fans that he’s on here despite that fact. As rugged as rugged gets on the basketball court, Randolph was a stud during his one season at Michigan State and turned to the NBA where he went on to have a 19-year career. Michigan State fans love to claim Z-Bo as one of their own.
